I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Kansas City, MO) in May 2011
Interview
Normal process. We started with introduction. There was questions about my background and previous experiences and there was questions on algorithms and database related. There were some .Net related questions and Object oriented related ones. Interview went for more than 30 minutes.Questions were mostly technical as it a technical interview.
Phone screen went very well, i passed to the onsites and they gave me the problem statement and i proposed a sub-optimal solution. They told to me come up with more optimal solution and didn't give me much time to think about it. They got impatient and gave me a hint. I figured it out and solved the problem, but apparently they thought I needed hints, which I didn't ask for.
15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
